My Bio

[edit]

I was born in West Virginia on 03 November 1977, then moved to North Carolina at age 10, which means I'm basically a confirmed Southerner. It was really hard to resist adding that "sweet tea" userbox, let me tell you.

I did my undergrad degree at Duke University, graduating in 2000 with a BA in linguistics and a minor in Spanish. I received an MA in linguistics from the University of Michigan in 2003; my main linguistic interests are conversation analysis and sociolinguistics, although lately I've found myself getting interested in (articulatory) phonetics, somewhat to my surprise... I suffered through a really bad course in it.

Currently, I'm an ESL teacher specializing in pronunciation (IPA rules!) living in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

Interests

[edit]

I enjoy cooking (especially baking) and of course eating (especially international food I've never had before), travelling, learning foreign languages, reading, writing the occasional fanfic, working out and/or going for a hike or a nice long walk, photography, orienteering, and camping with certain friends who understand how important a proper shower is to my well-being. And I adore cats.

But of course I actually spend most of my time watching sci-fi TV. My all-time favorite shows are Doctor Who (I'm a huge fan of Mel Bush, aka Bonnie Langford), The X-Files and the Buffyverse.

Aside from the three biggies, I've also been a fan of The Twilight Zone, The Outer Limits, Twin Peaks, Nightmare Cafe, Nowhere Man, Earth 2, Lois & Clark, Sliders, Roswell, Seven Days, Millennium, Harsh Realm, Red Dwarf, Sapphire & Steel, John Doe, Firefly, Tru Calling, Stargate SG-1, Lost, Threshold, Night Stalker, Supernatural, Ghost Whisperer and the various recent incarnations of Star Trek (I especially like the Trill).

And it's not all sci-fi... I'll sit down to watch Mystery Science Theatre 3000, The Chimp Channel, Ally McBeal, Family Guy, Father Ted, Keeping Up Appearances, Wife Swap, and 24. I also adore classic sit-coms (my favorites being I Love Lucy, The Dick Van Dyke Show, The Mary Tyler Moore Show, Rhoda, Bewitched... and Alfred Hitchcock Presents, if that counts!). As a child, my absolute favorite cartoon was Super Friends.

Currently, my all-time favorite movie is Run Lola Run.

I've been involved in online fandom since late 1992, when I joined Prodigy, where I met lots of really great people and picked the username that I'm still using today.

Wikipedia

[edit]

After editing articles anonymously for a few weeks, I decided to bite the bullet and join Wikipedia on 23 February 2006. I joined the Doctor Who WikiProject on 01 April 2006.

I don't feel confident editing articles in any of my professional fields, so I mainly stick to my favorite topic: science-fiction television. I usually just make minor edits related to my personal favorite programs:

I've also been known to create pages for topics that I can't believe didn't exist already:

I like to put my predilection for travel to use in improving Wikitravel.
